Tonight we will partner with Naturally Boulder, an association of Natural product companies to offer a pre-workshop event featuring Amy Hall, Sustainability officer form Eileen Fisher, and Hammad Assaid, CEO of the American Sustainable Business Council.  We will then offer our two-day workshop "Authentic Leadership for Naturals" for over 40 people on Thursday and Friday.  We are excited to collaborate with such inspired partners and to offer programs that can support business as a force for good.  Blessings to All!   With Gratitude, Susan Skjei In Partnership with Naturally Boulder  Authentic Leadership for Naturals Starts Tonight December 6th-8th, 2018 | Evening Reception & 2-day Workshop in Boulder, CO Deepen your roots.
